July 2025

This one of my favorite city building games and I enjoy restarting over whenever there are updates. It is also a nice second monitor type game where I can play others while I have it off to the side too.

Just when I think im out, They pull me back in. Lots to do with the new research tree and story mode, Gave the game a lot more depth to feel like there is always something to do. From managing the city, to caring for the onbu, to launching scavengers out to bring back materials

June 2025

This isn't quite what I expected, but it's really fun and I like the general direction the story is going. Management aspects aren't as smooth as I'd hope in that you don't get much warning when people are in crisis, but the stakes aren't painfully high on the other side of that, so it balances out. I'm glad I got this game!

Really cool Nausicca of the Valley of the Wind vibe. Pretty good updates. :D

10 out of 10 Don't let the smooth art style and vibrant atmosphere fool you. Yes many reviews call this game "cute" and "fun" but they haven't played on veteran difficulty with all of hostility modifiers activated. Oh? You think you have good resource management? You think you're a hardcore gamer? Good micro AND macro skills? Download this game. Unlock veteran difficulty and then max hostility. Develop any strategy you want (there are many) for avoiding starvation, sickness and death for your people while struggling to keep that damn dinosaur alive. All for the slight possibility that you can reach a sustainable state of resource production - one of the most satisfying feelings out there, period. The entire game is a balancing act. Focus too much on one area, and another will inevitably suffer. Fail to plan ahead, and you're dead before you know it. At the hardest possible difficulty you MUST get creative and gamble on the resources you have and the ones you hope to come across. While this game frustrates the hell out of me, I keep coming back because each time I lose, it's my own fault. I can always see something I could have done better. Sure, there are some random elements to the game that feel out of your control, but that's life brother. There are so many factors you have to constantly keep an eye on and when you successfully prepare for those unknowns and get past them, it is extremely rewarding. So come on you weenie, play the game at it's most challenging level and come back and tell me I'm wrong, I'll wait.
